Bouncer BASSET Certificate Tracker
For Illinois clubs and adult venues with an on-premise liquor licence

Certified, or not on the door.

Bouncer tracks every server's, bartender's, manager's and ID checker's BASSET certificate - the new-hire window, the state lookup, the three-year renewal - and will not put anyone on a shift who may not work on that date.

The problem

No card in the post any more.

Illinois wants BASSET certification from servers, bartenders, managers and door staff who check IDs, within 120 days of hire, renewed every three years. The state no longer mails cards - the record is on its lookup, which can take 45 days to appear.

Will not put anyone on a shift who may not work.

Not a reminder. A shift refuses anyone who, on that date, has no certificate in force and is past the new-hire window - and checks a shift next month against next month, so a certificate running out blocks it now. A lookup date before the pass is refused. There is no override.

How it works

Hire, certify, schedule

Add the new hire

Their first day starts the window - 120 days, or your city's shorter rule.

Record the pass

The date passed and the date it showed on the lookup. It runs three years.

Build the rota

Only on the dates each person may work.

What it will never do

It keeps the dates. Nothing more.

Bouncer holds names, roles and dates.

It trains nobody.Your staff take an ILCC-approved course.
It does not read the ILCC lookup.You record the day it showed there.
It is not a payroll or rota system.It is the check on who may work.
It is not legal advice.It is the record and the gate.

Questions

The ones we actually get asked

Who needs a certificate?

Servers, bartenders, managers who oversee alcohol sales, and door staff who check IDs.

My city gives new hires less time.

Set the window - anywhere from 1 to 120 days - and every shift is checked against it.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is the record and the gate in front of the rota.

What do I actually get when I pay?

The demo on this page is the whole program, running on invented records. Paying gets you a licence key — one line of text, on your screen as soon as the payment confirms: the checkout brings you back to our thank-you page, you type your business name and the key appears. Paste it into the program and from then on it keeps your own records. Until then, nothing you type into it is kept.

The key is checked inside the page, on your own machine. It never calls us, so there is still no account and nothing about your business goes anywhere. If you ever stop paying, your records stay exactly where they are, read-only, and Export still hands you every one of them.

One door checker is past 120 days with no certificate, one certificate has run out, and one pass never showed on the lookup.
